The inspector = called back today to say that they would like very much to do the = inspection and would want about 4 - 6 weeks lead time for scheduling. = And oh by the way, would I mind if they brought along three or four = additional members of their safety inspection team for = educational/training purposes. Apparently, it's been quite a while since = any of their staff have been called upon to certify a composite = homebuilt in this neck of the woods.... Of course I readily agreed, = wouldn't you? :-) Angier Ames N4ZQ=
